> Incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is seeking a fourth and final term in Brazil’s October 4 presidential election. After making the fight against hunger and poverty a key promise in 2022, his government’s social and economic programmes helped lift nearly nine million people out of poverty between 2023 and 2024, with a particularly sharp decline in the Northeast. The question is whether that progress will bring Lula stronger support.
